Why Edibles Can Feel Different Than Smoking or Vaping

If you already smoke or vape cannabis, it can be tempting to assume you already know your edible tolerance. But inhaled cannabis and edibles are processed differently by the body, so the same THC amount can feel very different depending on how you take it.

Why this matters

Honey Bloom organizes THC gummies using Honey Bloom Levels, our own product-navigation system. Levels are not a universal cannabis-industry standard. Each Honey Bloom Level corresponds to a specific amount of THC per gummy.

Start with what you know

If you already know the amount of THC in an edible that feels comfortable for you, use that information as your starting point. If you are unsure, begin lower and give the product time before taking more.

Honey Bloom Levels are:

• Level 1: 1mg THC
• Level 2: 2.5mg THC
• Level 3: 5mg THC
• Level 4: 10mg THC

Why inhaled cannabis can feel different

Smoking or vaping delivers cannabinoids through the lungs, while edibles are processed through the digestive system. That difference is one reason someone’s experience with inhaled cannabis may not predict how a THC edible will feel.

If you are unsure, explore before committing

A lower Honey Bloom Level or a Discovery Size can give you a smaller starting point before choosing a full-size bag.

Responsible use

Honey Bloom THC products clearly state Contains THC. THC is intoxicating. If you are new to THC edibles or unsure of your tolerance, start with a lower serving and give the product time before taking more. Do not drive or operate machinery after consuming THC. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
